    If you've seen Jane Austen movies, then you've seen English Country Dancing. Some dances are elegant, some rowdy, some romantic, some playful. Each dance has its own tune. Often the first thing that attracts people to English dancing is the splendid live music. This is social, community dancing. Dancers take a different partner for each dance of the evening, and join a "set" of couples. One of the pleasures of this kind of dancing is that you interact with everyone in the room. Dancers are encouraged to be attentive to each other as well as to the dance patterns. New people are welcome any time. Arrive at 7:30 for a brief orientation to basic dance figures at the beginning of any Wednesday night dance. You don't need to bring a partner. Wear loose, comfortable clothes, and flat shoes that won't skid or stick on a wood floor. If you can walk you can dance!
